Hi all! About 1.5 years ago I had a stray chicken turn up, we've named her Little Bird and she has settled into our flock.
However because of her style of arrival when she was very young, I don't have an accurate age and no idea of her breed. Early on there were some suggestions of auracana but I've just had someone suggest Salmon Faverolle and to be honest that looks more accurate to my untrained eye. I've attached a picture of her when she arrived very young, also another couple from just the other day and her egg colouring. She laid her first egg in April 2020.
Features worth noting;
-she does have a beard
- she doesn't have feathery feet but she does have very small tufts of fluff/feather on her legs that my other chickens don't have, you can juuust see them in the picture by the tree
- she has four toes and I think faverolles typically have 5?
- included a photo with our Orpingtons for size reference
